As an investor and CLD holder of Planet Calypso, I along with others like me are entitled to receive a portion of the planet partner profits paid every week.
This normally occurs without issue.
However, during this years Merry Mayhem an exploit was discovered which allowed certain individuals the capability to artificially dip into the Planet Partner income mechanism and undeservedly obtain money that did not belong to them through the UA rewards, then subsequently use it toward their own benefit. This process was repeatable and resulted in a significant interruption of Planet Partner income, as reflected by CLD payouts being nonexistent during the Christmas Holiday week, and significantly reduced the week prior.
This was acknowledged as a problem by MindArk, and I believe MindArks decision to hold the entire playerbase responsible by not issuing payouts is nothing more than providing tacit approval to those who exploited the system, while punishing those who did not by forcing them to pay for the misdeeds of others.
I wish to remind MindArk that this sort of conduct by players is unacceptable, and it must be punished in order to maintain an ethical standard within the community.
The punishment should be as follows:
1) Minor exploiters: 30 day ban from the Entropia Universe system. During such ban any CLD that the exploiter holds will not pay out, nor will any property. Instead all income will be diverted to reimburse the Planet Partner and non exploiting CLD holding accounts.
2) Major Exploiters (and those who continued exploiting after the warning provided by MA): Permanent ban. Complete asset liquidation via auction. All proceeds go towards reimbursing the Planet Partner and non exploiting CLD holding accounts.
Theft from others demands swift action. These players knowingly and intentionally stole from other community members. By MindArk's own code of conduct their actions are unacceptable and should result in immediate removal from the game.
Thank you for your time reading this.
